If you are a car restoration enthusiast then you’re in good company; the team at Senko Auto Restoration in Brisbane are passionate about all kinds of car restorations, such as vintage car restorations, classic car restorations, and really any auto restoration; but this week we are excited to talk about muscle car restorations.

Firstly, what is a muscle car?

Well, there is a reason it’s called a muscle car, and that’s because they pack some power. A muscle car is usually a V8 or something with a bigger engine so you can enjoy some high-speed driving.

Characterised by 2-doors, a muscle car is the very definition of high-performance driving. So, if you want a car with some grunt, and you want a project that will yield power and performance, then a muscle car restoration might be the right restoration project for you.

What is a Muscle Car?

A muscle car is an American, high-performance, two door vehicle. Look on any car selling website and you can choose from a whole host of muscle cars; however, you need to look beyond the cosmetics to ensure you are not over paying.

A high-performance engine is costly, and if you blow your budget on a lemon then it doesn’t leave much money in the kitty to restore your vehicle if you overpay for something you need to invest more time and money than anticipated on.

Some Muscle Car Restoration Tips in Brisbane

Setting a budget is an important step in the muscle car restoration process, and ensuring a mechanic takes a look at your car before purchasing it is the best way to get an idea of what money should be offered.

Having a good team behind you makes all the difference when it comes to restoring your muscle car. Senko Auto Restorations in Brisbane are on-hand to help with making your muscle car look the part, and we work closely with local mechanics that we trust will be able to help build that powerful engine, so you can have a muscle car, that looks, sounds, and plays the part of a high-performance vehicle.

Whilst spending time getting quotes and pricing is important sometimes cheaper is not always better, spending time finding a reputable service that charges a fair price means you save money in the long-run. Looking at reviews, and taking time to research your restoration team and finding those that have a good reputation is a great step in making the best investment for your muscle car restoration.

Make sure you take pictures, your muscle car restoration can become a labour of love, but if you can take time to appreciate how far you’ve come in the project it can be a really satisfying feeling.

Have a vision of where you want your restoration to go and share that with your muscle car restoration team; also get on-line and join the community of like-minded car restoration enthusiasts. If you look for local groups of car restoration lovers its likely there will be get-togethers, why not get feedback, advice, and opinions from people that have or are doing their own car restorations?
